Webinar Series: Baker Act And Medical Capacity (CME)

Course overview

The Baker Act and medical decision-making capacity are essential yet often misunderstood in clinical practice. This webinar will clarify capacity assessment, key ethical and legal considerations, and the differences between the Baker Act and the Marchman Act. In addition to a didactic presentation, the course will include real-world case studies and an interactive Q&A. By the end of the session, you'll be able to define capacity and its basic elements, recognize essential ethical and legal considerations, explain the purpose of the Baker Act and how it differs from the Marchman Act, and identify the criteria for initiating a Baker Act. ***FMA Member Price: FREE *** Non-Member Price: $50. *** To join the FMA and receive member pricing, visit www.flmedical.org, call 800-762-0233 or email membership@flmedical.org.***
